GUI Edit virtual disk

Edit a virtual disk in private cloud

Edit the system disk in AWS

For ESXi, you can modify disks as permitted by ESXi functionality. See VMware knowledge base article.

You can modify iSCSI disks on SCSI controllers or SATA disks on SATA controllers:
- with thin provisioning only; and
- the VM cannot have VMware snapshots.

In private cloud, for SCSI and SATA disks, you cannot modify disk size and position at the same time.

If you cannot modify a hard drive as expected, please contact your System Administrator.

Field	Description
Size	You can increase the size of the hard disk Expanding a disk can damage the data or operating system installed on the disk. You may need to apply additional operating system tools or processes before you can use an expanded disk In private cloud, before you deploy a VM, you cannot resize the system disk Remember that if you resize a system disk and then undeploy the VM or create an instance, when you deploy again the platform will copy the hard disk and/or its size from the template, which may change the size
Datastore tier	Optional. Storage service level
Allocation type	You cannot modify the Allocation type after the VM has been deployed. Used on ESXi only
Controller type	The controller type of disk. In public cloud, the Controller type is used in the OCI provider only.
Controller	Optional, used on ESXi. To force the creation of a new SCSI controller of the same type as an existing one, assign a new bus value. Access ESXi to confirm bus values.
Bus	Optional, used on ESXi. To select an existing bus number or to create a new controller, specify a new bus number. The user requests a bus number but the platform will use the bus number assigned by ESXi. When there is more than one controller, to identify the controller and bus number, the platform displays the bus number as a suffix to the controller. Access ESXi to confirm bus numbers that are not displayed
Name	The Name of the hard disk
